Hi,
I am reading by chance this email, so I don't know if I can give you a useful
hint, which you might already know.
So please ignore this if it is out of point.

I don't use WinCvs but cvs under CygWin for a project in SourceForge
Under Cygwin
"CVS will add DOS style line endings when files are CheckedOut
onto a text mounted drive.   It will use UNIX style line endings on
binary mounted drives."

So, this is what I do:

# --------- only once - begin

# from the home directory
mkdir /mntdos

mkdir dos    ( subdirectory of home )

# this mount /mntdos as text mounted drive ( the correct sintax is: )
mount -t C:/GShell/Unix/Cygwin/home/dos /mntdos

# --------- only once - end

cd /mntdos

cvs co myproject

at this point I get the VCF files with CRLF instead than just with LF as
it is in bynary mounted drives.

Notice that after the first time I just need to :
cd /mntdos
even if I reboot the computer

When I commit a change, the cvs server takes care of all the CRLF characters, so I
don't need to worry about.

Cheers,
Marcello
